Inheriting the Magnolia Inn, a Victorian home nestled in the East Texas pines, is a fantasy come true for Jolene Broussard. After living with the guilt of failing to rescue her self-destructive mother, Jolene knows her aunt and uncle’s B&B is the perfect jump start for a new life and a comforting place to call home. There’s just one hitch: stubborn and moody carpenter Tucker Malone. He’s got a half interest in the Magnolia Inn, and he’s planting his dusty cowboy boots squarely in the middle of her dream.

Everyone is talking about Jennie Sue Baker and the mess she made of her life in New York. The former high school queen bee - and wealthy darling of Bloom, Texas - has returned home after all these years, riding on a common bus and bearing two bounced alimony checks. In a town that thrives on gossip, Jennie’s fall from grace has shamed her mother, set the town buzzing, and caused old, jealous enemies to whisper in delight. They say she’s taken a job as a housekeeper, gotten a garage apartment, and might be crushing on Rick Lawson, a simple farmer with modest dreams.

Publisher's Summary

A woman's middle-aged heart destroyed by love and loss. A divorced handyman who has given up on dating. Can small town dreams bring them both together?

Sam needs a do-over. Shattered by her husband's infidelities after 25 years of marriage, she is plagued by constant fear and loneliness. With only her dog, she sets out to make a quaint island community her new home.

Sam searches for a carpenter. Jeff, a retired firefighter turned handyman, answers her call. As Jeff works on her projects, he can't resist falling for her or her pies. Sam's not looking for romance, but can't deny their budding relationship.

When she least expects it, the pain of her past comes hurtling back at her. While torn between love and friendship, Sam must face her fears and make a choice. Will she risk the chance for a family and home she's been longing for all her life?

Finding Home is the first book in the Hometown Harbor Series, featuring emotional journeys of women in midlife, with a touch of romance. If you like escaping with heartwarming stories filled with friendship and family, dogs, and second chances, then you'll love Tammy L. Grace's tale of old wounds and new possibilities.

Treat yourself to the first audiobook in the series fans describe as "the perfect escape, captivating, heartwarming, and inspirational" today.

wow.

The production quality of this book was terrible, but that wasn't the worst thing about it. The narrator did her best with insipid dialogue and a really boring story. The only characters I found even remotely interesting were the dogs. The dialogue and 'insights' into the thoughts of the characters were so inane that I found myself laughing at the ridiculous non-insights that were 'revealed'. At least the laughter kept me awake while driving - that's something. Save your money/credits for something else.
